Christian Religions
Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely, and let us run with perseverance the race that is set before us, looking to Jesus the pioneer and perfecter of our faith. (Hebrews 12:1-2) Key Insights 1. We are connected to all Christians by our belief in the same Father, the same Lord—Jesus Christ—and ...

Breakfast with Jesus
05/18/08
We come to the final sermon of the series, The Next Words of Jesus, or Words Spoken Outside The Tomb. It is befitting the series that Jesus’ words are spoken in the context of a meal. Some of the most memorable moments in my life have taken place at the table. And not always has it been a traditional table. There was a time that a few of us guys would take two to three ...

Don't Be Afraid
04/05/08
I recall those words, “Don’t be afraid.” They came as I was being ushered onto the largest wooden roller coaster West of the Mississippi in the early 1950’s. My dad was treating my brother and I to a day at the Mid-south Fair in Memphis, Tennessee. I had been to some of the local fairs that would come to Forrest City, Arkansas. There were rides at those smaller fairs that ...

Who Are You Looking For?
03/29/08
Introduction: For years I have used “the seven last words of Jesus from the cross” as a preaching source for the Lenten Season and Holy Week. Just a few months ago I picked up a small book titled The Seven Next Words of Jesus. What a find! Though I had read the Gospel accounts many times I never gave any thought to balancing the words from the cross with words after the ...

Resurrection Declaration
03/22/08
Introduction: I have preached at least one Easter sermon for the past forty-one years. My take on those sermons is much like the take on preaching that one of my college professors presented to the homiletics class: When I was called to preach I figured I would preach through the Bible in one year and then the job would be finished. I have had some thoughts that at some ...

Transforming Assurance
03/01/08
Talk about a “loaded” word! The word “assurance” is just packed with feeling, emotion, and mind sensitivity. Concerns of “assurance” impact every facet of life. In fact, “insurance” is a purchased form of “assurance.” For some years a company has marketed a product for persons who need vitamins and minerals. It is aptly called “assure.” From ...

The Unchained Word
02/16/08
A few years ago I was invited to preach at the Bethel Camp Meeting. This camp meeting dates back to the 1850’s. In those early days the people attending camp meeting would travel by wagon, bring tarps and tents, cook outdoors, celebrated worship at least three times a day. Camp meeting would go for two or more weeks. Today’s camp meeting is much different. There are only night services for one ...

Open!
02/09/08
Several years ago I invited a couple to go with Helen and me to one of my favorite restaurants. No matter that it was seventy-five miles away! We loaded up and headed out toward Nacogdoches to eat at the Red Barn. I could almost taste the tender, juicy, medium rare steak that would soon be on the platter before me! I drove up and down the thoroughfare looking for the Red ...

Claiming Our Identity
01/26/08
A great twentieth century preacher tells a story that has been recast by hundreds of preachers. The story is about a family on a vacation. The family stops at a Dinner Bell type restaurant in Eastern Tennessee…. Talk about being given an identity! But the greater miracle is that the young boy claimed the identity! It was much better than the one he had carried since his ...

Thanks Be to God!

Introduction: Most of us are aware of how the first settlers in America landed in December of 1620 in what is now the state of Massachusetts. Within one month ten of the seventeen fathers who were on the Mayflower died. Within a couple of months only four of the mothers and wives of those first seventeen couples were alive. By Easter almost half of the pilgrims had died. Yet in ...

Mother Questions
10/20/07
Life is filled with questions. I remember the time my brother and I were hanging out at the old Caldwell Mercantile. A group of guys were standing or sitting around a pot-bellied wood burning stove. The stove would sizzle when one of the fellows would spit his tobacco juice into the open burning flame. At some point my brother asked a question. One of the guys ...
